Filmmaker Anna Biller's labor of...comedy/horror, The Love Witch is unlike most any movie you'd see in the 2010s.
Shot on 35 mm film, it's an homage to 1960s horror and Technicolor pictures.
This time, the serial killer is no male -- it's a witch named Elaine, out for love. And her kind of love? Well, it kills.
The film's unique style and subversive humor have gained it a cult following. A movie featuring the "female gaze" and exploring gender roles and feminist ideas, it has serious critical and fan appreciation.
Actor Samantha Robinson's performance in the lead role was named one of the best performances of the 21st Century so far by The New Yorker, and it is not to be missed.
But despite all the accolades, was this film fan put under the spell? Well, listen to find out.
